MAX COMPUTERS

NGC

Our popular computers allow you to easily guide to hundreds, thousands or even millions of objects in the
database without knowing where they are and without using a star chart. You don′t even need to level or
polar align your scope. You can spend more time observing and less time hunting for objects. These computers
are sometimes called digital setting circles because the early versions only displayed right ascension and
declination, thus replacing the telescopes mechanical setting circles. The Next Generation Computers (or MAX
computers as they are sometimes called) are not ″Go-To″ computers in that they do not move the
telescope for you. 

SGT-MAX

magine every movement of your telescope being represented against a realistic star field on the screen of your
personal computer! Simply type the name or catalog number of any object you wish to see, and the SGT-MAX not
only guides you to it, it even shows your progress against the stars! The real-time link to your telescope
makes finding any of thousands, or even millions of objects, a breeze. Combining it with a compatible Go-To
telescope (such as the Meade LX200) and CCD imaging software will give you a fully automated imaging system.

It should be noted that without a compatible Go-To telescope, the SGT system will guide you in a manner
similar to the NGC system in which you must manually move the telescope.

The Software Guided Telescope is a combination of two parts, Hardware and Software.  You will need both parts
for a functioning system. We sell TheSky software but many others will work with our hardware.
